A MOTHER WOULD PERMIT THEIR CHILD TO Get ABUSED.
People in such conditions are very often abused themselves, authorities said. They might also be affected by past pain or existing issues, or they may be entangled in associations where they may feel powerless to change.
Mr Nazeema Marican, a 34-year-old cultural employee at PAVE, an company that helps victims of abuse and domestic violence, suggested many choices.
The people may be concerned that taking actions could lead to more hostility or reprisal against either the kids or themselves. They might also be the victims of mental manipulation, making them believe they are to blame for the abuse or that they would drop their children if they reported it.
According to Ms. Nazeema, offenders frequently secluded their patients, making it more difficult for them to get support and protection.
One of the biggest concerns a veteran has about reporting the victimization is that child protective services may take them out of the community, she said.  ,
” A victim may also fear that reporting the abuse may impact the family relationships and associations, worsening the family position”.
Director of lobbying, analysis and communications at children’s advocacy group AWARE, Ms Sugidha Nithiananthan, said some women are also economically dependent on their aggressive companion, making it difficult for them to abandon the relationship.
” Oftentimes, domestic violence enacted against children is an extension of the abuse that their family is now facing”, she said.  ,
People may also be in a state of denial, according to Ms Sugidha,” a physiologically incapacitating state that some parents encounter when faced with the possibility that their baby is being abused.”
Dr Christopher Cheok,  , commander of criminal psychology at the Institute of Mental Health, said years of marriage crime could result in “learned powerlessness”.
In about 20 years of practice, he has witnessed cases where the perpetrator is generally dominant and the spouse is” not so empowered.”
The indifferent family may have a character where they refuse to annoy the victim or fear losing their partner altogether. Additionally, the offender might have purposefully chosen a less confrontational partner they can handle.
In other cases, the family may not even have been abused by the culprit, but were themselves exploited as a child. They may have sought out partners who “are not the best for them” as a result of this early youth violence.  ,
They may have experienced numerous processes of violence before meeting the current family, and they may also be dealing with substance abuse problems themselves, according to Dr. Cheok. So” sometimes the spouse already has their own personal issues to deal with that can be very challenging, ( and ) frequently involve trauma.”
Dr. Cheok described an unusual situation in which the family, who was also a child abuse sufferer herself, felt the need to reform the perpetrator out of a subconscious need for reform for her own father.
” So it’s like a lord advanced. They feel that they could n’t save their mother, now I can save my partner”.
Dr. Cheok questioned why the majority of inmates in Singapore are men, arguing that normally it is a woman who allows the baby to be abused. The majority of chemical offenders are also people, which is a significant risk for domestic violence.  ,
More full-time carers and moms are ladies, so the economic disparity is already there, said Dr Cheok. People are also commonly physically stronger.
” Often, it has to do with their ability to stand up for themselves or their children,” he said.  ,” The truth is that – if they did stand up for themselves or for their children, they would n’t have found themselves in this position to start with”.
